Let me put it this way, I am far more forgiving for the extras being more "rushed" then I am of fighters being clones. When a games bread and butter is the fighting/stages, those should be perfected before anything else is added.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case here...
People, do you love the game so, so much that you are willing to defend some totally worthless characters???
I mean...DR.MARIO?
?? GANONDORF, THE KING OF ALL EVIL,
A CAPTAIN FALCON CLONE?I'm sorry, I know this is all a matter of personal preference, but come on!
We are not saying that Melee is the worst game ever. Its a great game that we enjoyed playing. But its hard to deny that the game could've been much more. It needed more time, but Nintendo wanted it out as soon as possible.
Denying that a great game has flaws is going beyond being a fanatic. Even truly fantastic games have flaws and there will be people that will notice them and say negative things... DEAL WITH IT.
And for those claiming that the reason we are being negative because S_B started doing it let me tell you something. I met S_B at the old IGN Smash forums and I was eagerly awaiting Melee like all of you are doing with Brawl. I was so, so excited for Melee that when S_B posted his first negative impressions I bashed him to no end. I called him names, trolled on all the threads he made and would bully him whenever I had the chance. My passion for the game was so strong that I hated anyone that spoke ill of it. Hell, I also defended the clones! Then on Christmas 2001 I finally got the game. I was ecstatic. But as I kept playing it during my winter vacation I kept getting more and more annoyed with the game.
First of, my favorite character, Kirby, was so nerfed down it was worthless to play as him. Second, my second favorite character, Yoshi, was also nerfed down. While I enjoyed trying the new characters out I was disappointed by the fact that my favorite characters weren't the same.
Second, I was more than eager to try the new trophy mode. At first I thought it was awesome. But then when the number stopped at 290 + and realized many trophies were missing and many of them were hastily made I was crushed.
Finally, I unlocked the secret characters...Like I said, I understand Pichu, Young Link, Roy and Falco, but Dr. Mario and Ganondorf?
I then realized that even if the game was great it had flaws, flaws that could've been worked out had they had more time to work with it.
I'm honestly getting sick and tired of getting crap simply because I have negative thoughts regarding Melee and Brawl. I'm really f*cking sorry for not being a blind fanboy and just agreeing with everything I see. I play these games and I pay for them. It is my right to say what I think of them, whether they'd be positive or negative. Once more, sorry, but learn to DEAL WITH IT.
